Defrost Timer
The old defrost timer started making a screeching noise (probably bearings going out). The replacement part was a cinch to install. When I initially spoke to a PartsSelect person, they said the part number I gave them was not consistent with my old '94 Tappan Freezer. They were able to still find the proper replacement part number. The video that was on-line helpful also.

Freezer would only run sometimes by turning the thermostat to highest position fully clockwise. Sometimes turning it full CW wouldn't turn on. Once the freezer would run on highest setting, it seemed that it wouldn't shut off. I put a thermometer inside and would read -15deg when running. +15-20deg.
Replaced thermostat and it fixed the problem. Freezer comes on and turns off automatically and regulates internal temperature around 2-5 degrees.
The hardest part was extending the coiled probe tubing and forming it to fit into clamp without kinking it.

frost and ice build up/ gasket wasnt sealing properly
I did watch a repair a utube video which I asked for when ordering. Pretty much followed most of the directions but:
started in left corner an lossed all screws from left to right. took off old gasket in small sections and inserted the new gasket and semi tighten screws
proceeded down left side then right little by little as above. to get to bottom of door.
bottom corners were a little snug to get them into place. the last corner was snug but once connected. tighten screws not too tight. You dont want to strip them.
test door with piece of paper.
if paper is not a snug tug, you can adjust gasket with a hair dryer set to low.
it was easy. freezer is all set.
Partselect was great to deal with, support verified the part number was correct for my freezer and help with that video.

Compressor stopped running, freezer stopped freezing
Upon Inspection of electrical connections I found the controller connector slightly melted, so I ordered a replacement and the other parts, given the freeezers age.
Replacement efforts were close to plug and play.
Compressor powered back up And freezer is now functioning again.

Freezer not cooling due to icing up of coil.
The timer in this older unit is clearly exposed at the back of the freezer underneath the freezer compartment. It is attached with two Phillips head screws. After the screws are removed, the timer can be unplugged and the new one plugged in. The new timer has an extra flange to allow it to be used on more than one model of freezer. In order to mount the timer in this unit, you have to remove the extra flange by carefully cutting it away from the timer body, in similar fashion to what's depicted in the online video. This will allow you to mount the new timer to the mounting plate using the two screws from the old timer.

Freeze would not re-start after temp rose above 23 degrees.
Unplugged the freezer. Located the Run Capacitor (next to the compressor). Removed the wire holding bracket, removed the Run Capacitor from the Start Relay. Installed the NEW Capacitor, re-installed the holding bracket. Plugged the unit in, looking at the display for the proper start-up sequence data. All is good - freezer operating for another 10+ yrs. NOTE: When removing the Run Capacitor, beware the COMPRESSOR could be HOT to the touch.

Freezer would not stop running and had frosted over
Pretty simple, take cover off back of freezer to access thermostat, unhook thermostat and replace with new one. It had wire hookups different from original part so had to look up that information. Turned out it did not matter which wire went on which prong.

No problems
It went exactly like your on line video. It took longer to defrost the freeze than it did to make the parts change out.

Door alarm going off indicating door ajar
This did not fix the problem. Call a repairman and he cannot come until 9/11. Food is staying frozen. Alarm sounds for awhile and then shuts off for a bit.
